Gents, Ladies...this is great example of bottle variance. Shitty label belie a neck fill and evenly moist cork from a Durand. Sweet lush core from the beginning and tight structure throughout (not a lot of swirling) and drank phenomenally for 1.5 hours. Hugely unusual for a heavily Cab based St Estephe...fabulous! Why I love wine! Read my past reviews! Crazy — 7 years ago

Tasted in December 2014: Notes of vanilla, caramel, and creme brulee overlay complex apple, peach, and pear aromas. Hints of calcareous minerals. — 8 years ago

Pinot from the most unsuspecting region (Baden), you would be crazy to not buy this in 6 or 12 packs, it's that delicious and around $30! — 9 years ago

Crazy fresh still, lots of wet stone, green apple, lemon oil, floral, with beautifully integrated oak and MLF notes. Clearly a whole and coherent wine, all things working together elegantly. — 9 years ago

Less overt raspberry / cranberry. More on the savory side. Little low in acid but still gorgeous. At Novel in KC. — 10 years ago

Earth. Wood. Wet bark. Crazy legs. Spice. Blueberries. Astringentcy is understated. Really long linger. Smokey. A velvetiness lingers — 10 years ago

Crazy good paired with dipping into gamba al ajillo (emphasis added), at Napa's groovy/real Zuzu, catching a classic deeply dirty nose while still sporting sun-drenched fruit that initially reworks one's first blush front mouth with an iodine edge that morfs into red and black fruit edgy with acid/tannin slow dancing to the depths and begging for another pinch of broth soaked chewy freshly baked bread and the associated next swig of this sweet juice...rhythmically stellar by day or by night😎🌌👣🍷🌀🎼

PS hit Zuzu (friendly, delicious and real...

Dark cherry and a dash of herbs, with a savory middle and finish, excellent concentration, and terrific with a duck breast with a beet sauce. — 7 years ago

Young wine with mild OH on the nose paired with very nice fruit. Plums, prunes, and blackberry on the palate, but lighter than most cabs. Nice finish, and the recommendation was spot on as this wine definitely punches above it's weight at $20+. Curious as to other opinions. — 9 years ago

Brambly red berry fruits. High acid and untamed, a wild expression of #pinotnoir #nzwine — 9 years ago

Perplexing as it is seductive. Bright citrus, tangerine, white flower attack. Rich mid palate of stewed peach, ripe banana and candied walnut. Oak grip has found its place incredibly well. Cinnamon spice evolves with slight clove and lingering peppermint. — 10 years ago

9.1

Vintage after vintage these guys knock it out of the park, 2011 is just sweet. Soft tanins, alc in check and balanced for the level, beautiful, crunchy red fruits with a crazy splash of plum bordering on pluot. Phenomenal value for the quality. Lots of shops out there with it right now for$26-28, get some. — 10 years ago

1990: Corked, unfortunately. My mom had the best line, "It sure tastes better than it smells!" I recall what it was like on release, hard candy sweetness with a surprisingly light framework, particularly compared to both the '88 & '89 on release, and the crazy depth of the'90 Ch. Filholt Creme de tete, which was massively concentrated. This bottle still had oomph, yet wasn't all there. — 11 years ago

9.2

Comparing the 1992 and 1994... Blown away! 92 showing softer baked fruits, opening to a creamy umami... 94 opening with way overripe pineapple developing into a crazy savory wasabi/soy sauce umami fist to the face. How ya like that? — 11 years ago
